Why does most new music suck?

Ok I will have some exclusions to my statement. I'm not talking about classical or jazz. My comment is mostly pointed to rock and pop releases. Don't even get me started on rap.... I don't consider it music. I will admit that I'm an old foggy but come on, where are some talented new groups? I grew up with the Beatles, Who, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Hendrix etc. I sample a lot of new music and the recordings are terrible. The engineers should be fired for producing over compressed shrill garbage. The talent seems to be lost or doesn't exist. I have turned to some folk/country or blues music. It really is a sad state of affairs....Oh my god, I'm turning into my parents.

When flipping through Comcast’s music channel I’m always amazed to see the massive crowds going nuts over who’s ever on stage making what I consider to be little more than loud noise. To name a few, I’m into artists like Phil Roy, Amos Lee, Mark Cohn, David Gray, Keb’ Mo’ and Randy Newman.

Feel free to call me crazy, but my music collection includes no music from famous privileged groups that toured the world opening spending millions of dollars to support their drug habit while the authorities looked the other way.

Yesterday I had one of those “just kill me now” moments when I caught the tail-end of Phil Collins being interviewed on public radio where-in he talked about performing a piano duet WITH A MONKEY. Need I say more?

"I have fond nostalgic memories of record stores as well"... My now 7 and 9 year old granddaughters talk in nostalgic terms about the great times they use to have when we'd go to Barnes & Noble where they'd dance with the headphones on.
